Aggregate fruit

 An aggregate fruit is a type of fruit that is made from one single flower that has numerous pistols. Raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries are some prime examples. This is why I drew a strawberry.

Base

In chemistry, the pH is the measure of basicality or acidity a substance has. Some people use the pH scale to determine how acidic or basic the substance is. It ranges from 0-14. A pH greater than 7 is considered a base. An example of a base is egg whites, which is why there is a picture of an egg white below. Some common qualities of a base would be that they sometimes will have a slippery feel to them, and they are bitter.

Organism

To be considered an organism it must apply to the following...it must

• React to change
• Be able to reproduce
• Maintain homeostasis
• Grow

An organism can range from being a plant, animal, becteria, ect. The example I used below is a picture of a hydrangea bush.

Herbivores

A herbivore is an animal that feeds off of mainly grasses and other plants. Many hooved animals are herbivores such as moose and deer. Some other herbivores are pandas, rabbits, and rhinos. Many dinosaurs are believed to also of been herbivores, such as the parasaurolophus. This specific dinosaur was drawn below as an example of a herbivore.

Invertebrate

Invertebrates lack a vertebrae, so it does not have a back bone. An example of an invertebrate is a starfish which is why i took a picture of one to represent this specific vocabulary word.

Heterotroph

 A heterotroph is an organism that is not self sufficient. In other words, it is not like a plant, where it can create its own food and survive on its own. They are unable to synthesize, therefore they depend on other organic matter created by other organisms. Examples of a heterotroph could be a dog, an elephant, humans, lions, and many others. The drawing below is another example of a heterotroph, which is a south african oryx. This animal is a herbivore, which means it needs organisms such as grass and other vegitation to survive.
